Tudor’s franchise owner Hank Roysden purchased the property from the city of Fairborn in November, making him the first to buy one of four properties that previously housed motels. These properties were purchased by the city to help bring the downtown area back to the “Golden Age” when people walked down the city’s streets, passing more occupied storefronts, Gebhart said.

“There’s no reason why we can’t have a second Golden Age, and I think Tudor’s Biscuit World is the start,” Gebhart said.
